River Lyrics
Vanessa Carlton
Sailors on the sea, are we heading clear for the edge of the ocean?
There's no city that keeps you king for a gypsy
And are we guided by some vision?
All our moves adding up to an ancient arc
We are free of the canyon cliff of my heart
The river flows, it takes ahold and it's running through
And we ain't changing on our own, oh, we change for you
The river flows, it always flows
And he walks home in another city
Your mind's stuck in an ancient war
And all you need is the space for the beauty to take you
And she will take you...
The river flows, it takes ahold and it's running through
And we ain't changing on our own, oh, we change for you
The river flows, it always flows
Flows through you, flows through you
The river flows, it takes ahold and it's coming through
And we ain't changing on our own, oh we change for you
The river flows, it always flows
And we're just sailors on the sea
Yeah, we're just sailors on the sea
Yeah, we're just sailors on the sea
There's no city that keeps you king for a gypsy
And are we guided by some vision?
All our moves adding up to an ancient arc
We are free of the canyon cliff of my heart
The river flows, it takes ahold and it's running through
And we ain't changing on our own, oh, we change for you
The river flows, it always flows
And he walks home in another city
Your mind's stuck in an ancient war
And all you need is the space for the beauty to take you
And she will take you...
The river flows, it takes ahold and it's running through
And we ain't changing on our own, oh, we change for you
The river flows, it always flows
Flows through you, flows through you
The river flows, it takes ahold and it's coming through
And we ain't changing on our own, oh we change for you
The river flows, it always flows
And we're just sailors on the sea
Yeah, we're just sailors on the sea
Yeah, we're just sailors on the sea
